4th of July Fireworks Celebrate Card

Created this 4th of July Card with a Fireworks theme in mind.


Used Stand and Salute Cricut cartridge for the Fireworks and 4th of July Frame. I think Stand and Salute is a much better cartridge than Independence Day Cricut cartridge.


Used more than 3 Cricut cuts: 3 Fireworks & 1 the 4th of July Frame. Used glitter cardstock for the Fireworks. Used more than 2 pattern papers: the Fireworks background scrapbook paper & the 2 types of americana Kraft cardstock. Used more than 1 embellishment with the 3 red/white/blue star buttons & the red/white/blue ribbon.


Used Spellbinders die cut for banner. Used heat embossing for the 'celebrate' sentiment. Added some buttons & ribbon.


































































buttons: Dress It Up Star Spangled stars - red/white/blue
Cricut cartridge: 
Stand and Salute 2" Fireworks & 
5 1/2" x 6 1/2" 4th of July Frame
embossing:

VersaMark
paper:
glitter cardstock - red/white/blue
Kraft cardstock americana 
ribbon: Spool O' Ribbon - red/white/blue
Spellbinders: Shapeabilities Ribbon Banners
